was just looking through your gallery admiring your car and got to the end to find that you have sold it, what happened did something else come up that you couldnt resist?

gave it a dam good clean inside and out and fitted a cd changer under the rear armrest/hump

nice and different that flusted looks really good in that colour too

very nice motor will be awesome when its finished and also would i be right in thinking that it was in this months readers rides in pvw if so you must have sent the pics a fair while ago as it does not mention half the stuff your doing to it at the mo

cheers scott hows your motor coming along

right quick update decided to take the all smoked rear lights off as didnt really like them and put some all reds on looks far better i think also had some new tyres fitted there the same profile but the sidewalls are more vertical than the last set so have been getting major scrubbage on the inside arch had it serviced and asked for it to be raised but the fk ak's had seized up in that position and need to be taken off to get sorted out so i ended up buying big tartan judges konigsports drained my lsd saving fund a bit but i planned on upgrading the coilovers at some point anyways also gave it a megs 3 stage polish yesterday as it was nice this is the results

wheels look 8) think they will really suite your car when on

sorry to hear about your dad car looks like a beast bet it is doing a good job of putting a smile on your face i lost my brother last year so had a 1.8t put in my rado not as living for the moment as buying a tvr for a daily driver! but helped put a smile on my face in hard times neil.

good work karl hats off to you for doing it yourself and just think how nice it will be to stand back when its finished pat yourself on the back and think i did that !

glad you have found one steve bet you cant wait till the weekend now

looking good faz and will look even better with them borbets on

as stan said he is just outside stoke mine took a bit to do but that was due to waiting on some hoses from samco for ages and as for what he would charge its totally dependant on what you want ie which 20v lump if you want just a basic swap or want things like an uprated intercooler and a re-map, hoses etc etc

you dont need to change the steering column or the clocks mine is still using the originals its just a bit of a pain to get the rev counter working but andy at psi (where i had mine done) knows what he is doing and managed to get mine working fine i really would recommend giving him a ring very clued up bloke when it comes to vw and wont rip you off either hes done a top job on mine cant fault it at all here is a pic of his handy work

before

cheers foggystorm i shall give them a try

as above really does anyone know any decent vw breakers its for my gfs golf the throttle body jammed solid an im struggling to find a replacement one its a 93 1.6 8v tried gsf but there 175 for a new one and its simply not worth spending that kind of money on it as the mot runs out in march and she intends to trade it in before then any help much appreciated as the last breakers i tried (volks apart) sent me the wrong one and dont have the correct one

cool what sort of power are you hoping for and are you using the 16v box

good stuff beeftech glad to see its coming along whens it due to be finished? i bet you cant wait

well got my car back today am well chuffed with the repair only thing is my mate(who did the job) ordered the wrong tail lights he ended up gettin all smoked lights i didnt realise this until today when picking it up and they were already fitted anyway im really not sure if i like them but didnt say anything as he managed to respray my bumper and back panel at no cost to me or any extra for my boss's bill so i cant really complain!

ended up being a toyota aygo quite a funny little thing really although i almost cacked my pants driving it home as i was getting blown all over the place

well my car is finally going into the bodyshop tomorrow to get sorted and have to say BigTartanJudge was pretty much spot with his guess it was 400+vat but think im going to pay some extra and get the rear bumper done at the same time as it had a few marks on it anyway, so by this time tomorrow ill be driving one of there corsa's about i cant wait!!!

whats happend to this beeftech is it finished?

cheers for your replies chaps an yeah im glad he came clean some one at work earlier in the year put a dent in the door on that side when opening the van door but never admitted it so at least this time i dont have to pay for it

was at work today and had a phone call from the boss as he was out of town he rang to tell me that when he left last night he bumped my car but couldnt see what damage he had done due to it being dark and that if any damage he will get it sorted i hadnt even noticed as it was dark when i left work and dark when i drove there this morning but after i spoke to him i went out to find this :mad: not amused dont know if you can see in the pics clearly what the damage is but its smashed the rear cluster dented the rear arch put a slight crease just above the rear arch and scratched the boot and spoiler so not too good a day for me anyone like to hazard a guess as to how much it will be to fix?

my old 9a engine is at psi tuning in stoke from when i had my conversion done and is for sale well i think it is i aint spoken to andy in a bit but sure he would have informed me if he had sold it! its only done 70'000 miles has a kr inlet cam already fitted and new timing chain when that was done just had a new dizzy as well drop me a pm if your interested
